There is a mint smell to this which I like but it is something to be aware of in case you don't like that.

Also it twists up so you don't need to find a large sharpener.

Hand Swatch;

The matte balm isn't like a traditional matte, it doesn't dry your lips but it does last for a long while. I would describe the finish as semi matte rather than a full on matte.

Lip Swatch;

I really like this lip product, it lasts a long time on the lips, doesn't wear bizarrely. It isn't drying the way a traditional matte is. Feels moisturising, sounds like a contradiction it being a matte but it is a moisturising product. This colour is a brick, brown colour, lighter than the outer packaging suggests.
